CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS

The present application is a Continuation Application of U.S. patentapplication Ser. No. 15/225,986, filed on Aug. 2, 2016, the entirecontents of which are hereby incorporated by reference.

BACKGROUND

The present invention relates generally to a fixed-wing aircraftadvertisement system, and more particularly, but not by way oflimitation, to a fixed-wing aircraft advertisement system for improvingpersonalized advertisements by delivering advertisements to ageo-localized audience, based upon sampling of what a fixed-wingaircraft listens when the fixed-wing aircraft is on the verge ofapproaching that location, what is known about the location (e.g.,profile of the location), where the advertisements are delivered fromthe fixed-wing aircraft (e.g., on the body of the fixed-wing aircraft,sprayed onto the sky, etc.) once they reach that location, withoutattempting to recognize the identities of the target audience.

Fixed-wing aircrafts are well-known and have been increasingly used todeliver products, guide athletes, surveillance, etc. Advertising hasbeen around since the birth of commerce and digital advertising has beenaround since the birth of digital commerce, including location-profilebased mass advertising. Also, detecting words from speech has been a hotarea of research with significant success.

Conventional advertisement optimization techniques rely on knowing auser identity to mine user data and distribute an optimizedadvertisement. These techniques lead to security concerns as some usersmay not wish to share their identity.

However, there is a void in the technical field for any techniques thatcarry out advertising from samples of speech heard by fixed-wingaircrafts (or optimizing on what of so much speech to listen to), atgiven locations. Also, there is a technical problem that theadvertisement optimizing techniques rely on extracting an identity ofthe user.

SUMMARY

In view of the newly discovered problem in the art (e.g., no systems ormethods exist), the inventors have considered a non-abstract improvementto a computer technology in which a system can observe users of a groupengaged in conversation, determine keywords from the conversation usingmicrophones of a fixed-wing aircraft, and optimally distributeadvertisements via the fixed-wing aircraft based on the conversation ofthe users without attempting to recognize an identity of the user.

In an exemplary embodiment, the present invention can provide afixed-wing aircraft advertisement system for a fixed-wing aircraft, thesystem including a user observing circuit configured to observe aplurality of users to identify a speaking user, a word identifyingcircuit configured to identify a keyword profile from words of thespeech of the speaking user, and an advertisement selecting anddelivering circuit configured to select an advertisement to deliver viathe fixed-wing aircraft based on the advertisement being associated withthe keyword profile.

Further, in another exemplary embodiment, the present invention canprovide a fixed-wing aircraft advertisement method for a fixed-wingaircraft, the method including observing a plurality of users toidentify a speaking user, identifying a keyword profile from words ofthe speech of the speaking user, and selecting an advertisement todeliver via the fixed-wing aircraft based on the advertisement beingassociated with the keyword profile.

Even further, in another exemplary embodiment, the present invention canprovide a non-transitory computer-readable recording medium recording afixed-wing aircraft advertisement program, the program causing acomputer to perform: observing a plurality of users to identify aspeaking user, identifying a keyword profile from words of the speech ofthe speaking user, and selecting an advertisement to deliver via thefixed-wing aircraft based on the advertisement being associated with thekeyword profile.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EXEMPLARY EMBODIMENTS

The invention will now be described with reference to FIGS. 1-6, inwhich like reference numerals refer to like parts throughout. It isemphasized that, according to common practice, the various features ofthe drawing are not necessarily to scale. On the contrary, thedimensions of the various features can be arbitrarily expanded orreduced for clarity. Exemplary embodiments are provided below forillustration purposes and do not limit the claims.

With reference now to FIG. 1, the fixed-wing aircraft advertisementsystem 100 includes a user observing circuit 101, an audio recognitioncontrolling circuit 102, a word identifying circuit 103, and anadvertisement selecting circuit 104. The fixed-wing aircraftadvertisement system 100 includes a processor 180 and a memory 190, withthe memory 190 storing instructions to cause the processor 180 toexecute each circuit of fixed-wing aircraft advertisement system 100.The processor and memory may be physical hardware components, or acombination of hardware and software components.

Although the fixed-wing aircraft advertisement system 100 includesvarious circuits, it should be noted that the fixed-wing aircraftadvertisement system can include modules in which the memory 190 storesinstructions to cause the processor 180 to execute each module offixed-wing aircraft advertisement system 100.

Also, each circuit can be a stand-alone device, unit, module, etc. thatcan be interconnected to cooperatively produce a transformation to aresult.

With the use of these various circuits, the fixed-wing aircraftadvertisement system 100 may act in a more sophisticated and usefulfashion, and in a cognitive manner while giving the impression of mentalabilities and processes related to knowledge, attention, memory,judgment and evaluation, reasoning, and advanced computation. That is, asystem is said to be “cognitive” if it possesses macro-scaleproperties—perception, goal-oriented behavior, learning/memory andaction—that characterize systems (i.e., humans) that all agree arecognitive.

Although as shown in FIGS. 4-6 and as described later, the computersystem/server 12 is exemplarily shown as one or more cloud computingnodes 10 of the cloud environment 50 as a general-purpose computingcircuit which may execute in a layer the fixed-wing aircraftadvertisement system 100 (FIG. 6), it is noted that the presentinvention can be implemented outside of the cloud environment.

The fixed-wing aircraft 300 controlled by the fixed-wing aircraftadvertisement system 100 includes at least one camera and onemicrophone. Preferably, the fixed-wing aircraft 300 includes a pluralityof cameras at different angles and directions to the fixed-wing aircraft(or reuse existing ones), that would be able to view the faces of thepeople in any direction that the fixed-wing aircraft is moving to (orwill reach there very soon in a few moments) and a plurality ofmicrophones, with a movable arm for fine-adjusting the precise positionand angle of the microphones, that would be able to capture the samplesof speech from sufficient distance (typically 50-300 yards) and overmultiple users. Many modifications and variations of the cameras andmicrophones will be apparent to those of ordinary skill in the artwithout departing from the scope and spirit of the describedembodiments.

Also, the fixed-wing aircraft 300 comprises a network connectivitycapability so that the fixed-wing aircraft 300 can communicate with abackend ad server (e.g., a database 150 or a system control). In oneembodiment, the fixed-wing aircraft 300 can be enabled with a local addatabase, with the expectation that the customers of the invention(e.g., advertisers) cannot update ads (delivery, activity status such asactive/paused, etc.) in near-real time with any guarantee. Further, some(e.g., a small fraction of the total) processing power of the fixed-wingaircraft 300 is for computing facial landmarks (e.g., as embodied by theuser observing circuit 101 as described later), and install the softwaremodules that are needed, such as facial landmark computation, speechrecognition and word sampling, NLP algorithms such as word-vector basedkeyword retrieval. Many modifications and variations of the fixed-wingaircraft and capabilities of the fixed-wing aircraft will be apparent tothose of ordinary skill in the art without departing from the scope andspirit of the described embodiments.

The fixed-wing aircraft further includes, for example, light-emittingdiodes (e.g., a display projection capability) to the fixed-wingaircraft 300 for showing text advertisement when there is low lightlevels (e.g., night time) and includes a video (image) screen so thatvideo (still image) advertisements can be shown. The fixed-wing aircraft300 can also include chemical spray capability for writing ads onto theblue sky in the daytime. Many modifications and variations of thefixed-wing aircraft and capabilities of the fixed-wing aircraft todisplay advertisements will be apparent to those of ordinary skill inthe art without departing from the scope and spirit of the describedembodiments.

Referring now to FIG. 1, the user observing circuit 101 observes aplurality of users to identify a user that is speaking. The fixed-wingaircraft 300 points cameras in a direction facing the users, and theuser observing circuit 101 detect a face of each user and detects faciallandmarks (e.g., nose, eyes, lips, cheeks, etc.) of the face of eachuser. The user observing circuit 101 tracks the facial landmarks of eachdetected face, and preferably tracks the landmarks around the lips ofthe user face (e.g., to identify that the lips are moving indicating aspeech is likely). The user observing circuit 101 identifies a top Nlips with the highest movement rates, where N is the number ofmicrophones that the fixed-wing aircraft 300 includes.

That is, the user observing circuit 101 observes a set of users talking(identifying by facial landmark displacement rate as seen by multiplecameras (e.g., an imaging device) fitted on the fixed-wing aircrafts tocover a large number of individuals) as the fixed-wing aircraftapproaches (or is at) a location. In addition, the user observingcircuit 101 continuously observes the set of users so that when a userstops talking and someone else starts talking, the audio recognitioncontrolling circuit 102 can adjust accordingly.

Also, the user observing circuit 101 does not identify the identify(e.g., specifically who a user is) during the observing and onlyidentifies facial landmarks to determine a lip movement rate to predictwhich users are speaking such that the audio recognition controllingcircuit 102 can point the N audio detection devices to the N faces ofthe N user, and listen to what the N users are saying.

The audio recognition controlling circuit 102 uses speech detectionalgorithms (or the like) to detect the words spoken from what they speak(e.g., do random sampling in case full listening raises privacyquestions). The audio recognition controlling circuit 102 controls themicrophones (e.g., an audio detection device) of the fixed-wing aircraft300 to listen to the users having the highest lip movement rate (e.g.,the user speaking) based on the observation by the user observingcircuit 101.

The word identifying circuit 103 identifies the words of the useridentified as speaking by the user observing circuit 101 (e.g., asdetecting by the microphones controlled by the audio recognitioncontrolling circuit 102). That is, based upon a top few keywordsdetected from the speech of the user, the word identifying circuit 103identifies commercially viable keywords (e.g., a keyword profile) fromthe words spoken by the user being observed, the frequently occurringwords that tend to be spoken with these words, the semantically relatedwords to the spoken words, etc. Also, the word identifying circuit 103can identify the commercially viable keywords based on the location ofthe users (e.g., near a sporting match, a shopping mall, etc.) or basedon a time of day (e.g., lunch time, dinner time, etc.).

The advertisement selecting and delivering circuit 104 selects one ormore advertisements to match the keywords identified by the wordidentifying circuit 103 (e.g., the key word profile), the locationprofile, and the commercial intent profile and delivers the selectedadvertisement on the fixed-wing aircraft 300 when the fixed-wingaircraft 300 reaches the location it was approaching (the location thatthis set of ads was computed for). The advertisement selecting anddelivering circuit 104 can deliver the advertisement via the fixed-wingaircraft, for example, on the sky by using a spray in the daytime, byilluminating lights in the evening, and other appropriate mechanisms fordisplaying the advertisement such as a text banner on a side of thefixed-wing aircraft. Or, in the case of a video advertisement, then alsoselect appropriate video advertisements and render these ads on thescreen. The fixed-wing aircraft can also include a speaker to deliver anaudio advertisement.

The advertisements selected by the advertisement selecting anddelivering circuit 104 are stored in the database 150 and include apre-defined set of matching keywords (or a matching keyword profile)such that the circuit 104 can select the advertisement based on a matchof the advertisement and the keyword profile.

Thus, the system 100 can select and deliver advertisements to ageo-localized audience, based upon sampling of what a fixed-wingaircraft listens when it is on the verge of approaching that location,what is known about the location (profile of the location), where theadvertisements are delivered from the fixed-wing aircraft (on the bodyof the fixed-wing aircraft, sprayed onto the blue sky etc.) once thefixed-wing aircraft reach that location, without attempting to recognizethe identities of the target audience.

FIG. 3 shows an exemplary embodiment of the system 100 facilitating thedelivering on an advertisement from the ad database 150 (i.e., thedatabase 150).

For example, the set of cameras 301 e observe the users 140 and faciallandmarks are detected by the facial landmark detector 301 d (e.g., asembodied by the user observing circuit 101). Based on the users havingthe most lip movements (e.g., the likeliest users to be speaking) asidentified by the face subset decider 301 c (e.g., as embodied by theuser observing circuit 101), the set of microphones 301 b are controlledto be pointed to the user having the most lip movements (e.g., asembodied by the audio recognition controlling circuit 102) and thespeech detector and word sampler 301 a (e.g., as embodied by the wordidentifying circuit 103) identifies commercially viable keywords (e.g.,a keyword profile) from the speech of the user using a NLP based keywordidentifier 150 a either installed on the fixed-wing aircraft 300 or of abackend server 310. Based on the keyword profile, the ad renderingmodule 301 f(e.g., as embodied by the advertisement selecting anddelivering circuit 104) selects the advertisement to deliver to via thefixed-wing aircraft 300 from the ad database 150 via an ad selectionmodule 150 b.

FIG. 2 shows a high level flow chart for a method 200 of fixed-wingaircraft advertisement.

Step 201 observes a plurality of users to identify a user that isspeaking.

Step 202 controls an audio detection device to detect speech of theidentified user.

Step 203 identifies a keyword profile from words of the speech of theidentified user.

Step 204 selects an advertisement to be delivered via the fixed-wingaircraft based on a match of the advertisement with the keyword profile.

Exemplary Hardware Aspects, Using a Cloud Computing Environment

Although this detailed description includes an exemplary embodiment ofthe present invention in a cloud computing environment, it is to beunderstood that implementation of the teachings recited herein are notlimited to such a cloud computing environment. Rather, embodiments ofthe present invention are capable of being implemented in conjunctionwith any other type of computing environment now known or laterdeveloped.

Cloud computing is a model of service delivery for enabling convenient,on-demand network access to a shared pool of configurable computingresources (e.g. networks, network bandwidth, servers, processing,memory, storage, applications, virtual machines, and services) that canbe rapidly provisioned and released with minimal management effort orinteraction with a provider of the service. This cloud model may includeat least five characteristics, at least three service models, and atleast four deployment models.

Characteristics are as Follows:

On-demand self-service: a cloud consumer can unilaterally provisioncomputing capabilities, such as server time and network storage, asneeded automatically without requiring human interaction with theservice's provider.

Broad network access: capabilities are available over a network andaccessed through standard mechanisms that promote use by heterogeneousthin or thick client platforms (e.g., mobile phones, laptops, and PDAs).

Resource pooling: the provider's computing resources are pooled to servemultiple consumers using a multi-tenant model, with different physicaland virtual resources dynamically assigned and reassigned according todemand. There is a sense of location independence in that the consumergenerally has no control or knowledge over the exact location of theprovided resources but may be able to specify location at a higher levelof abstraction (e.g., country, state, or datacenter).

Rapid elasticity: capabilities can be rapidly and elasticallyprovisioned, in some cases automatically, to quickly scale out andrapidly released to quickly scale in. To the consumer, the capabilitiesavailable for provisioning often appear to be unlimited and can bepurchased in any quantity at any time.

Measured service: cloud systems automatically control and optimizeresource use by leveraging a metering capability at some level ofabstraction appropriate to the type of service (e.g., storage,processing, bandwidth, and active user accounts). Resource usage can bemonitored, controlled, and reported providing transparency for both theprovider and consumer of the utilized service.

Service Models are as Follows:

Software as a Service (SaaS): the capability provided to the consumer isto use the provider's applications running on a cloud infrastructure.The applications are accessible from various client circuits through athin client interface such as a web browser (e.g., web-based e-mail).The consumer does not manage or control the underlying cloudinfrastructure including network, servers, operating systems, storage,or even individual application capabilities, with the possible exceptionof limited user-specific application configuration settings.

Platform as a Service (PaaS): the capability provided to the consumer isto deploy onto the cloud infrastructure consumer-created or acquiredapplications created using programming languages and tools supported bythe provider. The consumer does not manage or control the underlyingcloud infrastructure including networks, servers, operating systems, orstorage, but has control over the deployed applications and possiblyapplication hosting environment configurations.

Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS): the capability provided to theconsumer is to provision processing, storage, networks, and otherfundamental computing resources where the consumer is able to deploy andrun arbitrary software, which can include operating systems andapplications. The consumer does not manage or control the underlyingcloud infrastructure but has control over operating systems, storage,deployed applications, and possibly limited control of select networkingcomponents (e.g., host firewalls).

Deployment Models are as Follows:

Private cloud: the cloud infrastructure is operated solely for anorganization. It may be managed by the organization or a third party andmay exist on-premises or off-premises.

Community cloud: the cloud infrastructure is shared by severalorganizations and supports a specific community that has shared concerns(e.g., mission, security requirements, policy, and complianceconsiderations). It may be managed by the organizations or a third partyand may exist on-premises or off-premises.

Public cloud: the cloud infrastructure is made available to the generalpublic or a large industry group and is owned by an organization sellingcloud services.

Hybrid cloud: the cloud infrastructure is a composition of two or moreclouds (private, community, or public) that remain unique entities butare bound together by standardized or proprietary technology thatenables data and application portability (e.g., cloud bursting forload-balancing between clouds).

A cloud computing environment is service oriented with a focus onstatelessness, low coupling, modularity, and semantic interoperability.At the heart of cloud computing is an infrastructure comprising anetwork of interconnected nodes.

Referring now to FIG. 4, a schematic of an example of a cloud computingnode is shown. Cloud computing node 10 is only one example of a suitablecloud computing node and is not intended to suggest any limitation as tothe scope of use or functionality of embodiments of the inventiondescribed herein.

Although not shown, amagnetic disk drive for reading from and writing to a removable,non-volatile magnetic disk (e.g., a “floppy disk”), and an optical diskdrive for reading from or writing to a removable, non-volatile opticaldisk such as a CD-ROM, DVD-ROM or other optical media can be provided.In such instances, each can be connected to bus 18 by one or more datamedia interfaces. As will be further depicted and described below,memory 28 may include at least one program product having a set (e.g.,at least one) of program modules that are configured to carry out thefunctions of embodiments of the invention.

Program/utility 40, having a set (at least one) of program modules 42,may be stored in memory 28 by way of example, and not limitation, aswell as an operating system, one or more application programs, otherprogram modules, and program data. Each of the operating system, one ormore application programs, other program modules, and program data orsome combination thereof, may include an implementation of a networkingenvironment.
